The 36-year-old made the remarks after taking four wickets for Bengal in their Ranji Trophy 2026-27 opener against Delhi in Kalyani. Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami has fired shots at critics questioning his fitness, reminding them that his performances on the field speak louder than words and those who doubt his ability. Shami continues to let the ball do the talking despite the selectors ignoring him time and again, and insisted that he will continue to enjoy his game instead of thinking about his return to the national side.
The rest is your job,” Shami said during a press conference. Shami, however, said that he is motivated to keep going until he decides to quit himself. “People perhaps enjoy looking and passing comments more. They say the rhythm isn’t there, that he doesn’t look fit, or whatever else. It doesn’t bother me. I’m on the ground, I’m playing, and I’m playing wherever I’m given a chance. Shami was once against overlooked by the selectors, this time for the T20I series against New Zealand, which was the return of Bhuvneshwar Kumar into the side after a gap of four years.
